kicker amp under rated?

HI! I'm new to the car audio scene and to this site. When I bought the kicker 12" L7 sub, the seller sold me a kx 600.1 amp for it. He said it was okay to use since this amp is under rated; the amp, he said, is capable of up to 800 watts. Is this true for this amp? I've read a post saying the 1200.1 stapped is acually 3000.

Why would kicker under rate their amp?

underrated tis true sir. a lot of companies underrate some by a little some by a lot. i don't know about you but i'd rather have at least 1kw if the amp is rated at that.

don't get me started on that piece of crap. people like to run their xs100s as cheater amps b/c usaci and iasca used to not care. well buddy they are now, i believe there are many amps including the cheater line from kicker that will be banned unless re-rated.

just stating the truth about the Xs series by Kicker. they are old HUGE amps the xs-50 is like 24" long and the xs-100 is bigger than that. they aren't bad amps not much for features but rated at like 25x2 for the xs-50 does like [email protected] then the xs-100 rated at [email protected] and does around [email protected]
